Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing primarily arsenic over metals
Heading prioritizes arsenic-containing residues; nickel secondary if arsenic dominant.
If chemically processed into salts
Further refinement into metal salts moves from residues (2620) to inorganic chemicals (Chapter 28).
If from copper/nickel mining tailings
Mining residues like tailings classified separately from smelter/industrial slag in 2617.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit chemical analysis confirming nickel >10% and industrial origin to prevent rejection
• Label as 'for metal extraction use only' to comply with heading 2620 industrial application requirement
